They were entrusted with both civil and military powers and are equal in all respects, though subordinate to the generals and the Chinese Amban in military matters.3 Cultural Monuments It contains the huge Tashilhunpo Monastery, founded in 1447 by Gendun Drup, the First Dalai Lama.4 It is the traditional seat of the Panchen Lamas. Until the Chinese arrived in the 1950s, the Tashi or Panchen Lama had temporal power over three small districts, though not over the town of Shigatse itself, which was administered by a dzongpön general appointed from Lhasa.5 The reconstructed castle dzong of Shigatse The reconstructed castle dzong of Shigatse The imposing castle, Samdrubtse Dzong, originally built in 1363, was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Recently, between 2005 to 2007, the building was reconstructed, financed by donations from Shanghai. The basis of the reconstruction were old photos, yet reconstruction was executed in cement/concrete.6 Afterwards, the outside was to be wainscotted with natural stones. The dzong which, in the 17th century, clearly was taken as example when the Potala palace was constructed in Lhasa, will become a museum on Tibetan culture. Nearby attractions include: Shalu Monastery Narthang, the first printing establishment in central Tibet Mount Everest Infrastructure The city of Shigatse is the hub of the road network between Lhasa, Nepal and western Tibet. It is expected that the Qinghai-Tibet railway will be extended to Shigatse by 2010.7 Footnotes ^ Mayhew, Bradley and Kohn, Michael. 2005. Tibet, p. 172. 6th ion. Lonely Planet Publications.
